Presently researching the McGillivray (variant spellings) family living in Cawdor, Nairnshire. Some family members are found on the Moray Libindx website, buried in some of the Kirkyards in Moray, known also as Elginshire i am trying to expand the following family and have hit some brick walls > a call to all listers for an exchange of info has helped in the past i have a Duncan Macgillivray (dyer, born ca1777) who married Henrietta Phimister in Cawdor (1804), and they aparently had eleven children. have not located all of them. Their son John (b. ca 1810) married a Margaret Macarthur > had six children, the eldest Charles married Catherine Garden/Gordon of Aberdeen (1873). Two sons, John Charles ,b. 1874 and Charles William, b. 1887 i have located on 1881/1891/1901 census returns. ON ScP online i found that catharine (Garden) McGillivray died in Gouroch, Renfrewshire in 1921 and possibly Charles McGillivray died in Cawdor in 1921 i have some 1841/1851 census off FREECEN which show some family members of the above McGillivrays, but not all an old Rootsweb posting indicated that: Charles married to Catherine Gordon/Garden has living descendants, amongst whom Dr. Donald Macgillivray of Glasgow. One of John's nephews apparently went to Canada. A further posting said that: "This connection in Canada was Donald Macgillivray born in Cawdor in 1826." can anyone make a connection to these McGillivrays?? any help as always is appreciated Schani Biermann, Canada
